- Improve N+1 resolution section specifying how different memories
  affect N+1 calculation depending on the node

- try to manually move instances around (but this can become complicated
for any non-trivial cluster)
- try to reduce memory of some instances to accommodate the available
node memory
- try to reduce the minimum memory of some instances on the source node
of the N+1 failure (in the example above ``node1``): this will allow
it to start and be failed over/migrated with less than its maximum
memory
- try to reduce the runtime/maximum memory of some instances on the
destination node of the N+1 failure (in the example above ``node2``)
to create additional available node memory (check the :doc:`admin`
guide for what Ganeti will and won't automatically do in regards to
instance runtime memory modification)
- if Ganeti has been built with the htools package enabled, you can run
the ``hbal`` tool which will try to compute an automated cluster
solution that complies with the N+1 rule
